The 1-on-1 Research Mentorship Programme by the Cambridge Centre for International Research (CCIR) offers a unique opportunity for students to engage in an independent research project under the guidance of a faculty member from prestigious Oxbridge or Ivy League universities. The programme is designed to be tailored to each student's specific interests and needs, allowing them to delve deeply into their chosen subject. The curriculum of the programme is primarily research-oriented, focusing on hands-on project-based learning. This approach allows students to learn independently and autonomously. The ultimate goal of the programme is to facilitate the publication of the student's independent research paper in an undergraduate or industry level journal or conference. To ensure this, the programme offers extensive research and publication resources, including free access to academic databases and targeted publication support. The programme is delivered by current teaching faculty members from top-tier US/UK universities. The faculty members are handpicked to ensure a high standard of mentorship and a more intimate learning experience. This allows for a robust exchange of ideas and ensures that each student receives ample individual attention. The 1-on-1 Research Mentorship Programme is available all year round and has a rolling admissions process. The programme has a 31% acceptance rate, reflecting its high academic standards and the rigor of its selection process. While academic strength is a key criterion for admission, the programme also seeks students who demonstrate a genuine passion for their chosen subject of research. On successful completion of the programme, students will have completed a substantial independent research project, which may potentially be published in an academic journal or presented at a conference. Additionally, they will receive a graduation certificate and an in-depth evaluation report. They may also request a letter of recommendation from their Oxbridge or Ivy League faculty mentor. These outcomes are invaluable for students seeking to further their academic or professional pursuits in their chosen field of research.
